Level 2 – (Easy) – Building on the foundation of basic non-alcoholic ingredient­s, the Level 2 mocktail includes additional elements like fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices or honey, just to name a few. For example, muddling fresh berries with a splash of Orange juice and topping it off with club soda is always a favourite. Alternativ­ely, a fresh lemonlimea­de with the addition of spicy jalapenos and a touch of agave nectar is one alcohol-free cocktail that everyone should enjoy.

Level 3 – (Kind of Easy) – Although these require more preparatio­n, Level 3 drinks allow you to show off your creativity and often result in the best mocktails. Making your own simple syrups, ice cubes or fruit purees are great ways to enhance your nonalcohol­ic drinks and impress your guests.
